We had a great time yesterday at our 2023 TGU International Symposium at ζ©η¨²η°ε€§ε¦ Waseda University. Wonderful international guest speakers and excellent contributions from current and former students. Lunch with our new Masters students was certainly a highlight for me. Thanks team!


Very impressed by my new Masters of Sport Science student, Mr Vitor Sekino. Third place in our international student poster competition after four days of official enrollment. That must be a record! Well done young scholar. ζ©η¨²η°ε€§ε¦ Waseda University




Lots of aspirational words from World Health Organization (WHO) on Age-friendly cities policy and progress at #INAGE2023. Let's commit to more evaluation and action in this area and be open about our limitations. We all have work to do to make Age Friendly meaningful at street level.

I am pleased to share new research published with Journal of Aging and Physical Activity and Human Kinetics, which explores aged-related variations in physical activity across the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. Sincere thanks to my excellent co-authors, Profs Shimizu and Kidokoro. doi.org/10.1123/japa.2β¦.

Great to see this work published after a few research phases and COVID disruptions. Tokyo's marquee Summer Olympic and Paralympic venues (2021) show promise as sites of enduring urban legacies. Can they sustain the momentum? #Olympiclegacy The Olympic Museum tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10β¦


Our new paper is out now in open access. A critical review of Aotearoa's progress on the road becoming age friendly. Sustained measurement, accountability, leadership, and funding are critical for adapting our cities to demographic ageing. #healthyaging onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajβ¦
